Financial Aid

Financial Aid
Higher education doesn’t have to be a financial burden on you or your family. Why? Because the federal government offers more than $150 billion each year to assist millions of students in financing their educational goals. Prospective students can locate and apply for scholarships at any number of private and public institutions.

However, to receive federal aid from the government, you must file the free application for federal student aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Government administered student loans for career training are only awarded to students who file the FAFSA. In addition, governmental grants for career training can only be awarded to students who apply for federal aid.

What’s the difference?
Student loans must be repaid. Federal grants are gifts that don’t require repayment.
